As I said earlier on my journal, we had a lot of a snow today. Which meant that I was housebound for much of the day (except for shoveling). So, I decided to play around and have some fun with my new SV thing....CLESS !!

Now, I'm not a shipper, really. I can like some 'shipper moments, and I can appreciate 'ships, and I can even root a little for a 'ship. But I can't be a diehard 'shipper. I'm far too much a Clark FF. Plus, who wants to deal with the constant disappointment? Thats what I have Lost for (stupid Kate! *kicks her*).

But I have developed this odd fixation on Clark and Tess affair. Probably because they'll never go there, and like a friend suggested to me, they haven't done anything to ruin it yet. And I have to be honest here...after the recent Lana arc, Clark and a romance thats meant to be something real and substantive is just not something I can buy at the moment. In a way, I think this recent arc slashed and burnt that part of Clark's story. At least for the time being. And thats one of the many reasons I've still so livid over it, and I resent it deeply.

But then there's Cless, and I think I like it because...Hell, it wouldn't be a "love" connection anyway. It would be an affair. And since Clark is completely unawares of the more nefarious doings of Tess, that can't be held against him (Oh, not that it wouldn't be anyway). And there's just enough twisted dysfunction there to make it fun. And the best part? Tess is sort of a Lex avatar. So, a little something for the quiet Clexer in me too.

This is one of those times that I wish I was a fanfic writer, because I'd probably be on chapter 5, or so, of my twisted Cless affair by now. But since I'm not a writer, all I can do is picspams for my amusement. And thats probably going to have to do. And thats alright too. :)

See, look how pretty they are together:

Type your cut contents here.

This last one is Clark and Tess being sad, because they know it can never be. :(

Okay I've never really thought much about whether I ship these two, though there's an interesting energy between them (that I think has more to do with the way Tess relates with the men in her life in general, but still, interesting).

But you can't look at two people who're that freaking gorgeous and not ship them a least a bit. ;)

First of all Tom and Cassiday look amazing together. I want her hair (colour and style)Second. Day-um that would be a hot pairing. And Third. Yes Tess being a Lex avatar, works for my Clexy heart. Especially as Tess looks alot like Lex, i.e tall, slender, green eyes and hair, pale skin (I want her skin)

These two look good together. You've really done an amazing job with the pictures! I'm not a shipper person but I could read about that pairing. Their dynamic could be interesting. I wish they had more scenes together on the show. I definitely like her much better with Clark than with Oliver.

Of course, any excuse is good to look at pictures of Clark but in this case your project is original and fascinating to watch!

Thanks! I'm glad you liked it. I definitely think Tess is sort of into him, but at the same time, she's totally got an agenda. I love that. And the great thing about Clark in this is that he's cautious and guarded with her, but yet he's smooth.

Oh, Val, I love these! You found such perfect pairs, and blended them so well! Your first one is just stunning, they really do look amazing together. I especially like 11, 12 and 13. What a fun, original idea.

I really enjoy the scenes that Clark and Tess share. Tess is obviously captivated by Clark, and CF plays her as flirty and girlish is some of their scenes, and seductive and mysterious in others. Her choices are fascinating and unpredictable, which I love, because I can never quite figure Tess out. And Clark has been so strong in her presence! I suppose it's mostly just the new S8 Clark, but it's almost as if she brings out the man in him. He's confident, smart, and smooth when he's with her. I'm looking forward to Turbulence, and the chance to see them alone together.

Again, all of these are great! You've captured so many different looks and moods, and all the pairs you've chosen go so well together. Thanks for sharing these with us!

Thanks! I'm glad you like them. They turned out so much better then I hoped. Once I started, I was amazed at how easy it was to match expressions.

So far, the Clark/Tess scenes completely work for me. I hope that remains the case for Turbulence. But I really do believe we should have a lot more scenes of them together. I get very annoyed that Clark doesn't get more of a chance to interact with the whole cast on a more frequent basis. But then again, its that stupid cast policy with characters disappearing for half the season *grrrrrr*

OMG, thank God I'm not the only one waiting for some fic. I just hope if someone writes it, they don't make it schmoopy. Cless should be sort of on the bad and wrong side. I already have about 5 Cless icons. I have to make some more though.

I ::love:: your icon. These two do look incredible together, there's no doubt about that. And wouldn't it be one helluva relationship if it ever happened, heh. Dysfunctional and unhealthy as hell, but it'd be interesting to watch. And y'know it gets me thinking, it's such injustice (yes, look at me being all melodramatic ;-) that Clark has never been allowed to really have a fling, per se. The girls are allowed to, but never Clark. This would've actually been a good time for that - a sort of transition girl b/w Lana and Lois, to put it bluntly. Ah, SV. Missed opportunities a-plenty.

As it stands though, I do enjoy the Cless scenes. They've got decent chemistry and it's an interesting dynsmic, where you never really know what might be next.

Isn't that an awesome icon? Thats actually a real picture, but I moved the 2 of them much closer together. Those can be tricky, because you don't want it to appear that they are looking past each other. But I love the final product.

I've always thought that Clark should've had more chances for dates and flirtations. Earlier this season, I would've been against Clark getting involved with anyone else, seeing as how they were building up the Clois. But since they blew that shit up, then took a dump on it, I think a dirty, wrong affair actually makes a lot of sense in the context of the story. Let Tess be the rebound. She wouldn't mind, since she's be using Clark for her purposes as well. It totally works for me!

And you're right, its an interesting dynamic that would be an interesting change for the show. After all, the best chemistry Clark has ever had with a love interest was Alicia, and she was sort of a darkside character. Could lightening strike twice? I think maybe it could.

Teeheehee! Nice picspam! I think I would buy Cless in a mindless sex affair. Now that would be a good cleansing therapy for Clark as well as Clark fans. Oh well. Not going to happen but thanks for the dream!
